+- specfile:
+  * update copyright year
+
+- update to version 2.7.2:
+  * Support for Python 2.7 and 3.5 is deprecated and will be
+    discontinued when cibuildwheels and/or GitHub Actions no longer
+    support these versions.
+  * Wheels are now provided for Python 3.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and
+    3.9 via GitHub Actions.
+  * The block size is now exported into the namespace as
+    numexpr.__BLOCK_SIZE1__ as a read-only value.
+  * If using MKL, the number of threads for VML is no longer forced to
+    1 on loading the module. Testing has shown that VML never runs in
+    multi-threaded mode for the default BLOCKSIZE1 of 1024 elements,
+    and forcing to 1 can have deleterious effects on NumPy functions
+    when built with MKL. See issue #355 for details.
+  * Use of ndarray.tostring() in tests has been switch to
+    ndarray.tobytes() for future-proofing deprecation of .tostring(),
+    if the version of NumPy is greater than 1.9.
+  * Added a utility method get_num_threads that returns the (maximum)
+    number of threads currently in use by the virtual machine. The
+    functionality of set_num_threads whereby it returns the previous
+    value has been deprecated and will be removed in 2.8.X.
